By (author): John Sandford
The eleventh Virgil Flowers novel by internationally bestselling author John Sandford
Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle and a murder in the wickedly entertaining thriller from the master of pulse-pounding thrillers. Discover why Stephen King calls John Sandford 'one of the great novelists of all time!'
Pinion, Minnesota: a huge city of all of seven hundred folks who define the phrase small town. Nothing has ever happened in Pinion and nothing ever will until the mayor of sorts (campaign promise: I'll Do What I Can) comes up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map.
Hes heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of curious people and making the townsfolk rich overnight. Why not stage a prank in Pinion and do the same? No one gets hurt and everyone gets rich. What could go wrong?
And then a dead body shows up. It turns out that lots can go wrong with a get-rich-quick scheme like this one and lots will.
Itll take everything Virgil Flowers has to put things to right before someone else dies.
